At AN ENGINEER, we take immense pride in being your premier choice for high-quality foundry patterns and technical support services.
Pattern Making
Pattern making involves converting engineering drawings into foundry tooling, ensuring precise casting reproduction. Patterns serve as full-scale prototypes for the final casting, constituting a fundamental step in product development. Our capabilities extend to working with a diverse range of materials, encompassing:
Aluminium
Wood
Cast Iron
Brass
Araldite
Thermocol
Furthermore, at AN Engineer, our CNC machining expertise enables us to fabricate intricate, precise, and detailed patterns of varying sizes, catering to both small and large-scale projects.
At AN Engineer, we specialize in crafting foundry and casting patterns tailored to your precise requirements. Our commitment lies in delivering patterns that align precisely with your design specifications, ensuring the ultimate accuracy crucial for successful casting. We recognize the significance of adhering to exact design parameters, enabling us to surpass your expectations and guarantee complete satisfaction with our services.
Machine Moulding Patterns
Patterns crafted from either aluminum or cast iron (as integrated) are commonly affixed to CI match plates. Such patterns are well-suited for the machine-molded green sand casting process. The number of cavities in the mold is constrained by the weight and dimensions of the casting, determined by the molding machine’s capabilities.
Hand Moulding Patterns
When components exceed machine molding capabilities due to their size, they are directed to manual molding processes such as furan sand casting, no-bake molding, or CO2 molding. These methods offer customization options for match plate sizes to accommodate the component and mold box dimensions. Wooden match plates are favored for their ease of handling in these processes.
Wooden Patterns
For short-term production runs and R&D purposes, wooden patterns are often utilized. Typically crafted from teak wood for enhanced longevity and durability, these patterns offer a cost-effective solution for temporary manufacturing needs and research endeavors.
Shell Moulding Patterns
S.G. Iron patterns undergo a controlled heating process to achieve the desired temperature, resulting in the formation of a sand shell with shell-like characteristics.
Gravity Dies
Crafted from S.G. Iron with meticulous precision, these dies boast close tolerances tailored to the component’s specifications. Utilizing gravitational force, the molten metal seamlessly fills the die cavity, yielding a superior surface finish.
Investment Casting Dies
In this process, the dies predominantly consist of aluminum, facilitating the creation of wax patterns identical to the final component.
